Fishin' Finatics Charters provides premium, private trolling charters across the highly productive waters of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Operated by the experienced husband-and-wife team of Captain Adam Avery and First Mate Michelle Avery, this family-run charter business brings over 15 years of dedicated Great Lakes experience and tournament success directly to your fishing trip.

Unlike traditional fishing guides tied to a single marina, Fishin' Finatics Charters operates a highly adaptive, mobile setup. By trailering their 19ft Starcraft deep-V hull aluminum fishing boat across key launch sites—including Port Maitland on Lake Erie and Port Dalhousie on Lake Ontario—they follow the active fish populations as conditions change. This flexible approach ensures guests are always positioned over the best waters at the absolute best times.

The business caters to all skill levels, from families and young beginners to experienced boat owners looking to sharpen their strategies. Captain Adam’s guiding philosophy heavily emphasizes hands-on education. On every 6-hour or 8-hour private charter, guests don't just watch lines; they learn how to read high-end electronics, understand seasonal migrations, and master precise Great Lakes trolling setups.

Fishin' Finatics Charters targets the premier sport fish of the region depending on optimal seasonal windows:

Lake Ontario Salmon & Trout (April – June): Specializing in powerful Chinook salmon, Coho salmon, steelhead, brown trout, and lake trout.

Lake Erie Walleye (June – October): Targeting massive resident and migratory walleye schools in both shallow structures and deep offshore waters.

Lake Erie Yellow Perch (April – May): Fast-paced action perfect for families and filling the freezer.

Safety and professionalism are foundational to the operation. Captain Adam holds strict Transport Canada credentials including SVOP, SDV-BS, ROC-M, and Marine Basic First Aid, while First Mate Michelle is fully certified in SDV-BS. Every charter is completely turnkey, providing top-tier rods, reels, live bait, and full post-trip fish cleaning and filleting services. They also record high-quality photos and video clips of your day on the water so you can preserve your memories for years to come.
